Development of China's independent satellite data preprocessing system based on ArcEngine and IDL

China's independent satellite industry has developed rapidly in recent years. With the increasing quantities and types of independent satellites in orbit, the data is booming as well. So applications and researches on it get deeper and deeper. The data preprocessing, a key part of these applications and researches, is required to be more convenient and more streamlined as the emergence of massive independent data. In response to these requests, after analyzing the characteristics and preprocessing methods of data from three kinds of satellites, China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS), Beijing-1 Micro-satellite and Huanjing-1 Satellites (HJ-1), this paper develops the China's Independent Satellite Data Preprocessing System based on ArcGIS Engine (ArcEngine) & Interactive Data Language (IDL).
